Voice Of Acceptance (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

An orphan of destiny

whose birthmark disowns

A life spent indentured

his spirit on loan

 

Caught in a time warp

unable to leave

The future in chains

contentment bereaved

 

A child of the moment

left on the streets

Time as his captor

in shoes of concrete

 

Forever unwelcome

a foster relayed

From instant to instant

his memory replays

 

An orphan of destiny

whose grief is reborn

In weeks unrelenting

his calendar scorned

 

Last chance at adoption

it calls from within

The voice of acceptance

—from him unto him

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)

 

 

Summer Rain

 

Painting with words

speaking in colors

Palette of voices

—rainbow Divine

    Dear Kurt,
    • “The Voice of Acceptance”

    ‘Time as his captor
    in shoes of concrete’

    • “Summer Rain

    “ Painting with words
    speaking in colors
    Palette of voices
    —rainbow Divine”

    This literary technique of metaphors that you masterfully utilize is most powerful. They facilitate the reader’s understanding of the abstract.

    Captivating poetry…to say the least!
